Silent Storm Review at Active Reviews

A commendatory appraisal of Nival's WWII-themed title culminates with a solid final score.

By IGN Staff

A review of Silent Storm that appeared online in the middle of the week finds much to like in Nival's fusion of tactics and role playing, and it reaches this verdict:

Any fans of turn-based combat, WW2, blowing stuff up, or all of the above need to get this game immediately. Even the disenfranchised Diablo II junkie might find themselves at home with this game thanks to the RPG system. The replayability factor of this game is pretty high, since you can choose so many different character profiles and members of your squad (up to 7 max). If you're feeling lucky enough you can even attempt the game with one lone warrior, but don't think this is a re-enactment of Mario Van Peebles in the smash-hit SOLO. Just remember, you don't have cybernetic enhancements or the ability to dodge bullets; so only try this if you're masochistic or incredibly bored. You'll be seeing a lot of the loading screen if you're crazy enough to try it.

Like all games, this one isn't perfect. It is damn fun though, which is more than can be said about most of the crap coming out these days. The lucky Europeans have had this game since last year, and everybody here in the states should at least download the demo before this game sneaks by as a sleeper hit. Don't pass this one up.

As regards the role playing aspect of the game, the writer states that it increases the depth of play to a considerable degree, while the overall score is an excellent 4.5 out of 5. - Annihilator
